Discord is rolling out new age verification measures that go beyond simple self-declaration. The platform will now assess a user's age by analyzing their activity and other behavioral factors within the app.
This move signifies a shift towards more sophisticated methods of ensuring users meet age requirements, potentially impacting how younger individuals access certain features or communities on Discord. The specifics of how this analysis is conducted and what constitutes "activity" remain largely undisclosed.
